Earlier this morning, someone told me that today, Nov. 19, marks the 18-year anniversary of the Undertaker [pictured above] in World Wrestling Entertainment [WWE]. However, I thought the person didn't know what they were talking about since Undertaker didn't debut on WWE programming until the 1990 Survivor Series, which was Nov. 22, 1990, making this person's claim three days too soon.
Immediately, I got online and began doing research on the subject, which meant viewing the "History of the WWE" website, and was shocked as to what I learned in that on this day 18-years ago, the Undertaker first wrestled in a WWE ring at the then "WWF Superstars" taping in Rochester, New York, working under the name "Cain the Undertaker."
Undertaker would win a squash match over Mario Mancini but the match didn't air on television until mid-Dec., which was nearly a full month after his appearance at the Survivor Series, which most fans believe to be his WWE debut match. I guess it's true what they say. . . . .you learn something new everyday.
As a bonus, here is the match in question against Mancini courtesy of YouTube user "Dotheoz1."
